REFORMERS

Goal

REFORMERS (Regional Ecosystems FOR Multiple-Energy Resilient System) aims to create a CO2-neutral and 100% self-sufficient Renewable Energy Valley in the Alkmaar and Heiloo area. Experiences gained in this "Flagship Valley" will be used to develop a blueprint for the further rollout of Renewable Energy Valleys in Europe.

Description

Designing and accelerating the energy transition requires the integration of various energy carriers. While the focus in the energy transition is often on further electrification, "green molecules" and "sustainable heat" also play a significant role. REFORMERS is the first Horizon Europe project focusing on the integration of the entire value chain—production, storage, distribution, conversion, and application—of multiple sustainable energy carriers (such as hydrogen, green gas, electricity, and heat).

Our role

New Energy Coalition acts as Flagship Valley Coordinator of the project, providing coordination to the Flagship Valley ecosystem to demonstrate the various energy innovations. In addition, New Energy Coalition a strong role in replicating and exploiting the acquired knowledge and successful experiences to other Renewable Energy Valleys.

Partners

The consortium consists of, in addition to New Energy Coalition from 27 other parties from 10 different countries:

Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), AIT Austrian institute of Technology GMBH, Sustainable Heiloo Foundation, Ethniko kentro erevnas kai technologikis anaptyxis (CERTH), Fundacion circe centro de investigacion de recursos y consumos energeticos (CIRCE), Konin-miasto na prawach powiatu, Dender Durme en Schelde, EUREC EESV, Narodowa agencja poszanowania energii sa (NAPE), Rise research institues of Sweden AB, Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), Deep blue SRL, Delft University of Technology, Dimos Kozanis (MoK), Holzwelt Murau, Alliander NV, Municipality of Alkmaar, NV HVC, HYnoca Alkmaar BV, Institute for valorisation and expertise of thermochemics Alkmaar (InVesta), Sustenso Boekelmeer holding BV, REPOWERED BV, Methetnet BV, NXT Mobility, STOFF2 GmbH, and Eidgenossische Materialprufungs- und Forschungsanstalt (EMPA).
